To all to 720% it may 00mm .Be it knoufn thatlI Louis of the borough oi Bronx, city, county,and State ol New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvei'nents in Suspender o-E which the following is a specification. I This invention relates in general to garment 'sup-porter'sof theclass known as suspenders, and'has for itsprirnary' object to produce a device of a character stated, which is siinplein construction, effectivejin operation and durab le'in use: 1 v

Isiore particuIarlyQt-he. invention has for its object-to provide si'ispenders which will have all the capahilitie's 'o'f rubber elastic webbing without having; the tendency of rubber Webbing to Wearcut and becomefim eflective, To that end the lnv'ent onconslsts in providing suspenders With, compression.

springs which although sensitive action are durable and efficient hen in use.

With these and'other olnects 1n view hereinai'ter stated the invention consists in the construction and arrangement ofparts here,-
